[QUOTE="Patriot, post: 677240, member: 17187"] A - 2004 B - 85,000 miles when the noise began, 95,000 miles when the CCT failed completely, destroying my cylinder head C - I (unfortunately) ignored the noise until it was too late; engine grenaded in my garage on a Sat; new CCT arrived on Mon D - Not applicable in my situation. Replacement motor was installed after "B" E - n/a F - Motor replacement due to destroyed valve train G - independent shop swapped engine - Graves Cycle Repair of Tylertown, MS - swap work took 4 weeks in their time allowed; priority given to bikes with previous appointments; work approx 2 hrs/day I was charged for 12 hours H - No Y.E.S. Replacement motor funded by State Farm claim for flooded house from pipe failure I - 10k mi ebay replacement came with old style OEM CCT and it's still installed...had purchased new style CCT from Mondak Currently no noise...will replace CCT with new improved if any doubt...might do so anyway at 25k valve check J - Chain noise began randomly. Not associated with valve adjustment or cam removal K - I would trust my FJR with the new improved OEM unit. Awaiting in anticipation the results of manual CCT experiment I believe the CCT will have noise symptoms giving time and chance to replace it before engine failure (knock on wood) [/QUOTE]
